A Contrastive Study of the Language Characteristics of English-Chinese Translation

English and Chinese belong to different lan guage families. English belongs to Intlo - European lan? Guage Family, which is Pinyin language, while Chinese belongs to Chinese - Tibetan Lan - guage family, which is ideographic language. The different language families lead to the difference between English and Chinese. For the majority of CET-4 and CET-6 candidates, if they understand the characteristics of English and Chinese in their daily study, they can meet the translation criteria - "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance", i.e. faithfulness, accuracy, fluency and appropriateness of the original text. This will be very helpful for them to get a higher translation score. The following article will compare the characteristics of English and Chinese from the following aspects.

English likes to use static vocabulary, which is embodied in the use of nouns and adjectives. In Chinese, dynamic words such as verb conjunction are often used. Therefore, when translating from English to Chinese, the static narrative expressing the action meaning in the original text is often transformed into the dynamic narrative in Chinese.

(1)He is a goodealerand a good sleeper.(名词)

(1) He is a good dealer and a good sleeper.

他能吃又能睡(动词)

He can eat and sleep.

(2)The computer is a far more carefuland inHustriousinspector than human beings.(形容词)

(2) The computer is a far more careful and in Hustriousinspector than human beings. (adjective)

From the above examples, it is not difficult to see that Chinese tends to use more verbs, while English tends to use more nouns, prepositions, adjectives and adverbs to express the action meaning. Understanding the different parts of speech or word tendencies between English and Chinese is helpful to improve the quality of translation and make the translation more smooth and accurate.

English is more commonly used in nominal expression, that is, it does not use personal subject to describe, but to express how objective things act on people's perception, so that things can be presented in an objective tone. Chinese pays attention to subjective thinking, and often narrates objective things from self, or tends to describe people and their behavior or state. Chinese also often implies or omits personal names.

In (1), (2) and (3) sentences, the subjects of English sentences are "An idea", "1949" and "Words". In Chinese sentences, the subjects are "I", "New China" and "I". The subjects used in English sentences are inanimate objects, abstract objects or concepts as subjects, while the corresponding Chinese expressions are self-narrative and tend to describe objective things. In describing a person's extreme behavior or state.

Compared with Chinese, English is a language that pays more attention to formalization, which is mainly embodied in the use of vocabulary to connect clauses, such as "and" which we are familiar with to denote juxtaposition, if which denotes hypothetical conditional relations, and "because" which denotes causality. Although Chinese sentences also have a certain number of conjunctive connections, they are used more frequently than English sentences. Much smaller. In Chinese, we usually do not use conjunctions to express meanings or less. The difference between English and Chinese is what we call hypotaxis, which emphasizes the integrity of structure and form, the compactness of structure and the clarity of primary and secondary; parataxis, which emphasizes the integrity of content and meaning, and links sentences together by the logic of meaning. To make it clearer, let's give a few examples:

In example sentences (1) and (2), the meaning and logical relationship expressed by the italic underlined words "but" and "although" are reflected in the brackets of Chinese sentences, which just shows that there is a strong logical relationship between English language symbols, while the expression of our Chinese habit is to omit the words in brackets and connect sentences by the logic of meaning, and the conjunction prepositions are less than those in English. 。

2. The Characteristics of English-Chinese Translation and the Points for Attention in Translation

1. English and Chinese are two languages with great differences. English overlaps with hypotaxis and Chinese overlaps with parataxis. Some people compare English sentences to "woods with dense trees and tangled branches". The context is difficult to analyze and the primary and secondary are difficult to distinguish. Chinese sentences are compared to "bamboo forests with distinct branches". The context is clear and the primary and secondary are easy to distinguish. In translation, according to the habit of expression, the sentence structures of English and Chinese sometimes need to be transformed accordingly.

2. Emphasis is laid on the common methods of sentence translation: positive and negative, negative expressions, clauses and compound sentences.

3. The temporal and logical order between the subject and the subordinate clauses in English-Chinese compound sentences is not entirely the same. Therefore, in translation, it is often necessary to adjust the sentence order according to the expression habits. Modern translation theory holds that sentences are the most important
